What Applications May Need ULP?
• Large number of sensors in a single or multiple networks under the same management.– Changing batteries is costly – lots of work – E.g. WSN of gas meters
• A sparse wireless sensor network that covers a long distance or a big area.– Changing batteries is costly – sensors are not in walking distance– E.g. oil pipe monitoring sensors
• Will not work without ULP technology– E.g. Energy Harvesting or wireless powered sensor devices.

Smart Utility (Gas & Water Meter)• Smart electricity meter market has enjoyed the strong growth
for several years. But the smart gas and water meter market has just started.
• Unlike smart electricity meters, smart gas and water meters are battery powered.
• The network size of the utility network may be very large and are away from the management office, which making changing batteries costly.

Building Automation
• Can be used to – Manage commercial and
industrial buildings intelligently– Reduce energy use– Provide intelligent lighting and
HAVC control• Potentially large amount of
sensor devices;• In some situations batteries
are difficult to be changes.– Sensors on ceilings or other
hard-to-reach places.

Inventory / Warehouse Management
• Potentially large amount of devices;• Devices may be movable or portable so
finding a device for changing its battery could be difficult;
• Devices need to be made fairly small in order to be attached to some products they are tracking;

Medical / Health Care
• May require ultra small form factor;• Battery life needs to be long enough to accomplish a
specific task;• Batteries may need to be flexible in shape and size.

Retail Service• Can be used to
– monitor, control and automate the purchase and delivery of goods.– help retailers manage their supply chain– improve the consumer's shopping experience– reduce time in checkout lines, – gain insight into shopping behaviors that improve consumers shopping
experiences,
•The number of hand-held devices can be very large.
•The devices could be portable

Telecom Service
• A wireless sensor shares the same battery with other devices (CPU, Cellular, WiFi, GPS, Display and etc.) of the same mobile device, affecting the battery life of the mobile device.
• Battery life is now a key differential factor when comparing mobile devices. Manufacturers want to reduce power consumption as much as possible.
Information Delivery (charged)
• Telecom service of wireless sensor covers wide variety of value-added services, including information delivery, mobile gaming, location-based services, secure mobile payments, mobile advertising, zone billing, mobile office access control, payments, and peer-to-peer data-sharing services.

Industrial/Infrastructure Monitoring
• Changing batteries could be a very difficult work– E.g. wireless sensors monitoring a bridge which are not easy to
access• Sometimes a monitoring network has a string topology and is
very sparse.– E.g. distance between adjacent wireless sensor nodes deployed to
monitor an oil pipeline could be half a mile away.– Changing batteries becomes a costly work.

Environment Monitoring
• Potentially very large and sparse network;
• Sometimes dangerous or hazardous environment making changing batteries impossible – Require extremely long battery life
and make the device disposable.Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant

Energy Harvesting/Wirelessly Charged Sensors
• Energy is a very scarce resource for these devices;
• Requires a device run as energy-efficient as possible to maintain functional;
• In some cases these sensors will not work if the currents drawn are over some thresholds. – May not be possible
without ULP technology.
